ROUTE 01 / RECORD A PERSON

It starts with you.

Turn yourself, a colleague or a spokesperson into an avatar. Record in the browser studio, or arrange a 4K recording session with our team.

We guide the capture of speaking, listening and natural idle movement. For recorded avatars like Iris, the original body, hair and clothing provide the visual detail.

Open recording studio
ROUTE 02 / UPLOAD AI VIDEO

Bring your AI character.

Already created a digital spokesperson or AI agent? Upload video clips of that character as the visual starting point for your IRIS avatar.

We review the character’s consistency, image quality and movement, then prepare suitable footage for conversation. Video import is guided by our team during the pilot.

Discuss your video import
01 / PREPARE

Shape the presence.

We prepare the avatar from your footage and agree on the voice, look and behaviour. You review the result before it represents your brand.

02 / CONNECT

Give it a purpose.

Define its role, tone and the questions it should answer. Connect approved knowledge and your choice of language model. Bring your own model through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

03 / TEST & LAUNCH

Meet your new avatar.

Try real questions, review the answers and fine-tune the experience together. Start your pilot on your website, a Holobox or a portrait display.

What makes good source footage?

For a recording

  • Use a steady camera, soft lighting and a quiet space.
  • Keep the framing and background consistent. Include the full body when creating a full-body avatar.
  • Follow the team’s guidance for speaking and listening takes, with the person’s permission.

For AI-generated video

  • Keep the same face, body, clothing and background across clips.
  • Choose clean footage with natural movement, without cuts, captions or changing camera angles.
  • Supply the original exports and make sure you have the rights to use the character and video.

Source quality sets the starting point. Supply native 4K footage for a 4K source workflow; a lower-resolution upload does not gain original detail. Current live output is 1080p, with the 4K live route in testing.

Sources and calculation

LiveAvatar pricing checked 7 October 2026. Monthly cost = platform fee + max(0, session minutes × credits per minute − included credits) × overage rate. Time spent listening is included. Partial-minute rounding is not modeled. Annual savings assume the same usage for 12 months, without annual-plan discounts.

The calculator uses LiveAvatar’s advertised main allocations of 1,100 and 6,000 credits. Its billing guide lists an additional 10 credits. Taxes, custom-avatar creation, hardware and separate AI or voice costs are excluded from both estimates. Prices and terms can change.

THE ESSENTIALS

Good to know.

What’s real, and what’s AI?+

Iris uses a real person’s body and hair, recorded with permission. Her face is generated and her voice is licensed synthetic audio. These are recorded demos; live conversations are being tested with pilot customers.

You can also start with videos of an AI character. A connected language model, approved knowledge and voice turn the visual identity into a conversational experience. Explore the creation routes.

Is it 4K?+

Iris’s original body and background footage is 2160 × 3840. Your source quality depends on the recording or AI videos you supply. Live output is 1080p today; a route that retains the 4K body on screen and streams the face is in testing. Website previews are compressed for playback.

Can we use our own AI and infrastructure?+

Connect your model through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Cloud and dedicated GPU hosting are available in the pilot. On-premises rendering on one NVIDIA GPU with around 32 GB is in testing. View hosting and integrations.

What permissions do we need?+

Get explicit written consent for a real person’s likeness, or the rights to use an AI character and its videos. You approve the avatar and its knowledge before launch. You can ask us to remove the avatar and source footage.

What does joining the pilot commit us to?+

Applying is free and does not start a paid subscription. The proposed monthly platform fees are $49.50 for Essential and $237.50 for Business. Business adds conversation volume and a lower overage rate; both use the same avatar technology. Setup, hardware, taxes and separate AI or voice costs are scoped before launch. See plans and allowances.

“What is a Holobox?”

Spoken audio: English.

Timed captions are coming soon. Read the script below.

Real person. AI-generated face.

Iris's body and hair are her original recording. The voice is licensed synthetic audio. This video is not a live conversation.

Read the script +

A Holobox is a holographic display. You see a person or a product as if they were really standing in front of you. There are four sizes. The 22 and The 43 are compact and fit on a counter. The 75 and The 86 are large, and in The 86 a person stands at life size. Only need one for a few days, for a trade fair or an event? Then you can rent a Holobox too. We deliver it and collect it again afterwards. This is a prerecorded demo. We apply this same visual quality to our interactive avatars.
